Two men at the centre of one of the most famous murder cases in the 20th century are even closer to freedom after spending 35 years behind bars. A California judge has dramatically reduced the Menendez brothers' sentences, now aged 54 and 57. Erik and Lyle Menendez were at the centre of a media firestorm in the 1990s when their case went to trial, and attention has refocused on the pair after multiple documentaries.

Who could be next Pope? Conclave to name Francis' successor begins at Vatican

1 week ago | metro.co.uk | Sarah Hooper |Sam Corbishley

All 133 cardinals eligible to elect Pope Francis's successor have arrived in Rome for the conclave. They will take their oaths to observe 'absolute and perpetual secrecy' in the Sistine Chapel on Wednesday, before casting their first ballots. A two-thirds majority is needed to be elected pope, meaning the winner must secure 89 votes. There are no official candidates to succeed Francis and no papal campaigning by any of the cardinals.

In recent years at high-profile Royal events, a certain seven-year-old has been stealing the spotlight. Prince Louis has become the highlight of normally stuffy Royal events such as Trooping of the Colour, the King's Coronation and more - and he hasn't disappointed today.

How to see the pink moon and blue giant star tonight

1 month ago | metro.co.uk | Sarah Hooper |Jen Mills

Skygazers in the UK are in for a treat tonight, as the 'Pink Moon' is set to light up the skies - along with a unique 'blue giant' star. This month's full moon is known as the Pink Moon, as it's the first full moon of spring in the northern hemisphere. It will be visible alongside the huge star Spica, which is part of the constellation Virgo. In fact, it's actually two stars, but we see them as one as they are linked together and burn so brightly (well over 10,000 times as bright as our own sun).
